Turning Valentines’ Day into Generosity Day

Last year, Sasha Dichter (Acumen Fund’s Chief Innovation
Officer) got together with Katya
Andresen (COO of Network for Good),
Scott
Case (CEO of Malaria No More), and Ellen McGirt of Fast Company to
re-invent Valentine's Day. Inspired by
Sasha’s month-long "Generosity Experiment," where he said “yes” to
every request for help, they decided to launch "Generosity Day." The
goal was to make Valentine's Day about more than flowers, chocolates, and
romantic dinners, to reconnect it to generosity for all.

“GenerosityDay”
is back this year and you are invited to participate. Here are some ideas for
how you can participate in Generosity Day.
